Summary of the impact

Research by University of Exeter academics has increased the public's
participation in, and appreciation of, the history and pre-history of
cinema. Much of this has been achieved by collaborative projects with the
Bill Douglas Cinema Museum, a free-entry museum located on the Exeter
campus, which has a large collection (65,000 items) of international
stature. A number of funded digitisation projects to improve accessibility
have presented as well as preserved cultural heritage. The main impacts of
this research have been to:

preserve, conserve, and present cultural heritage

engage different publics in literary and cultural heritage

contribute to economic prosperity via the creative sector
